Beta 2.2 RC1: 3Ds Max plugin testing thread

[[gk]]

I have already started on a material converter and a octane mat lib combined.

Octane doesnt suport anything but a direct light, the script can be altered to accept vray, brazil, any specific light as well ofcourse.

I was just curious on the status of these scripts, no pressure:)

This havent been done yet, Ive had other things to attend so far.
Its piped, though not on top of todo list

I shaded my scene in octane, saved it, reloaded the file as animation. It got through 14 frames out of 700+ before crashing. Now whenever I try to reload the animation it loads but Octane asks me to locate the mesh file 3 different times before it loads properly. It does this on every frame. It also does this even if I try to render a single frame.

having some problems with the exporter (I think). Getting the normals problem that seems to come from having improper scene units, but I have set the scene in Max to meters. If I export/import manually it seems okay, but via the script it is causing problems. I posted about it here:

Okay so, .obj file different name from the .ocs gives you an "automation error" Still load saved .ocs though (whilst you can still just press okay and carry on, doing every frame manually and having to save img names in sequence. Very daunting).
Make .obj & .ocs file the same name then all it seems to do is keep loading the default material file and not loading the saved/ edited .ocs file...

Can you please at least load up some of the older plugins again to work with the previous versions of octane that worked (just so i can get some work out of the way...)
Sadly i dont have any previous ones saved...

I have done earlier render animations so i know it works...
